Comments on: Randy Pausch’s Last Speech http://www.michaelrighi.com/2007/10/05/randy-pauschs-last-speech/ "If you can't hear me, it's because I'm in parentheses." - Steven Wright Wed, 08 Sep 2010 20:23:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Sara Gold http://www.michaelrighi.com/2007/10/05/randy-pauschs-last-speech/#comment-16211 Sara Gold Tue, 30 Oct 2007 02:57:19 +0000 http://www.michaelrighi.com/2007/10/05/randy-pauschs-last-speech/#comment-16211 Some lessons from Randy Pausch’s last lecture that especially moved me: 1. Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things. 2. Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted. 3. Never lose the child-like wonder. 4. If we do something which is pioneering, we will get arrows in the back. But at the end of the day, a whole lot of people will have a whole lot of fun. 5. Be good at something; it makes you valuable. 6. If you live your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself, and the dreams will come to you.
